The New York Times’ Peter Baker reported that Democrats are “struggling with this idea” that President Trump “could very well be president for eight years,” during an interview on Thursday.

MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson asked Baker what former Obama staffers are most worried about when it comes to Trump undoing former President Obama’s legacy.

“What they’re concerned about most is whether President Trump gets reelected,” Baker said.

The reporter then explained how former Obama staffers are debating whether it’s better for the country for Trump to reach a deal with North Korea or for the negotiations to fail.

“Because you don’t want anything to happen that would give him an argument for a second term,” Baker said. “So, they are struggling with this idea that Donald Trump is not necessarily a one-term phenomenon. He could very well be president for eight years.”
